The family of Modesta Alvarado, who died at the Harborage nursing home on River Road in North Bergen on Jan. 16, 2011, says that their video shows that more employees were involved in the abuse, although only one person has been charged, the report said.

In an interview, Evan Rodriguez, Alvarado's grandson, said one of the workers tells Alvarado "Lady, why don't you die" in a secret video recording. The family had installed the "granny-cam" when they became suspicious of the Harborage staff after they found numerous bruises on Alvarado.

Harborage employee Julia Galvan was charged with assault, abandonment, and neglect of the elderly. Officials at Palisades Medical Center, which operates Harborage, said that Galvan was fired after her arrest.

Rodriguez and his mother, Gloria Diaz, who have filed a lawsuit , say that their video also shows other staff members abusing or treating Alvarado roughly.
